Mrs. Harris was a very special person to me. I was her Home Care nurse for years and she and I became great friends. We read the same books and I would often take her a "good" one that I had read. She would always tell me stories about her wonderful children and grandchildren, of whom I had the pleasure of meeting most of her children. She was a great woman and a great christian lady that lived every day of her life for the glory of the Lord. I know that heaven became a little brighter when she walked into glory. God Bless you all.
